This is Phillip0614, finally submitting the Human Bard (Archaeologist) that I mentioned earlier. I haven't given him gear yet, but that's on the agenda for tomorrow. For future reference, I'm just gonna do the average wealth, so 105 gp. If you have any questions about the build, I'd be happy to answer them!

Now, having spent very nearly a decade journeying over the continent, Gideon has seen a great deal of the Inner Sea: The markets of Katapesh, the jungles of the Mwangi Expanse, the storm-lashed Sodden Lands where he joined another group to explore the lost city of Oagon, the deserts of Osirion; there hasn't really been any place in all that time that he's stayed in long enough to consider a home, and though he thinks he might one day find somewhere to settle down, it isn't likely to be any time soon; there's still much to see, to learn, to discover. In fact, his sights are already set on what he hopes will be his next grand adventure after his most recent landfall in Oppara.
When the call went out that the Bountiful Venture Company was intending to send an expedition to explore the lost civilization of the Azlanti, Gideon knew that he had to apply. A chance to go to the very cradle of human civilization, to see the remains of so great a culture...the opportunity was too great to pass up. Even knowing he had a bit of time, he had his application sent to the Company as soon as he could and has since made his way to Almas to be sure there was a face to go with his name and to try and further his chances of being selected for the adventure.
*pokes head in*
I'm going to be putting up a recruitment when I get back from vacation on Thursday, I'll link it here so people who don't make it can have another shot.
For the record there is also GM Stiker's recruitment happening now (deadline is the same as for this recruitment).
I believe that's the same person with 2 accounts. The name is the same on his profiles (but I could be wrong.)
@Pennate, I'd rather your character not have a corruption. If you wanted to explore that concept, though, I would allow you to play as a deep one hybrid.
I might end up running multiple tables. :)That won't make me sad. :)
Same here, I could make far more optimized characters but I quite like my little arcanist. If I had remembered it in time an Undine Bard Watersinger would have been great for this but I like my submitted guy quite a bit.
I believe that's the same person with 2 accounts. The name is the same on his profiles (but I could be wrong.)
It's actually not, I was pretty confused too. :)
3 days left.
About 60 hours, to be precise! :)
Well, it took me longer then usual, but here's my submission : Valdern DeepIron, Dwarf Drowned Channeler
I'm rather proud of the character I made, especially the dialogue sample I put together. Arma Avox, by crunch a vivisectionist, by fluff a physician. Planned progression is taking feats like Quick Draw and Improved TWF to make her better at getting lots of attacks off, with a side job as support with discoveries like Infusion and Healing Touch.
Gideon's gear is finished, so I'm posting again to let you know, Brainiac. The profile should be completed now. For ease of access, I'm also posting the information here. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about the build!

I remain interested and hopeful!
Consolidated list of completed applicants, part 2!
- Gideon Ross, human bard (archaeologist)
- Valdern Deep Iron, dwarf spiritualist (drowned channeler)
- Arma Avox, human alchemist (vivisectionist)
- Abigail Garrett, human druid
Likewise still interested. :)
I ran the first session for my players last night and they enjoyed it, very good atmosphere. So whoever gets into the game is in for a treat... though I hope to be joining ye!
So, I'm going to withdraw my submission. Life is just a little too crazy at the moment and I haven't even had time to read the players guide for this AP, and I think all of that is reflected in my submission.
Good luck to all, and thanks to Braniac for the willingness to GM a campaign! It means a lot to everyone on the forums.
No worries, SnowHeart. Take care!
Hey, Victrix! Your screenname kept niggling at me once I noticed it; I knew I remembered you from somewhere. We were in the same WotR campaign a couple years ago, run by DM Niles; I was playing Barundar Hammerfist, the dwarf stonelord. Maybe we'll be gaming together again, huh?
:D
Hiya!
Hopefully, you'll have better dice luck this time around. ;)
:D
Hiya!
Hopefully, you'll have better dice luck this time around. ;)
Ppbbt, I was wondering if you'd remember how much the RNG hated Barundar. Dang it was bad. I've been in a total of like...15-20 different PBPs since I started doing it on Paizo many moons ago and I have never, ever had such rotten luck as I did in that game. Not even close.
I'm actually in a different WotR game now, too, with an Elven Scout who is doing a great deal better. We've actually made it all the way to the third book with the original party intact.
Well, the way I see it, there's two reasons for your greatly improved dice luck there:
1) I'm not in that PbP.
2) You're not playing a dwarf.
The closest I figure, I'm actually some sort of luck vampire whose luck-siphoning powers work only on players of dwarves.
Y'know, you may be onto something there. The only characters I've played who seemed to have worse-than-average luck on the dice were all dwarves. Huh. Who knew the RNG was such a speciesist?
Oh, I find RNGesus to be kinda classist, too.
Every time I play a paladin, my rolls tend to be terrible more often than not.

Still very interested :)
Also, I have been looking at a few player's profiles and noticed that Ventiine had a nice list of links to all of the games currently being played / completed / etc.
That seemed like a great idea, and probably very helpful for a GM trying to determine the posting style of a prospective player, so I have adopted that myself.
Thanks, Ventiine!
Karandir here! Still rather interested as well.
Aww! Simon, you're making me blush!

If you haven't submitted your character yet and are still planning on doing so, please let me know. There have been plenty of submissions so far and if no new ones come in by noon tomorrow, I might close recruitment early so I can get a head start on selecting the parties.
I was intending to do so, but with all of the really nice submissions you have already, I'll bow out.
Good luck to all.
I literally just stumbled onto this, so I'm pretty behind on the submission process. Closing tomorrow? If you don't see a submission from me before 6AM PDT Fri, Aug 11, you can safely assume I didn't have time.
Got kind of an interesting concept rolling around.
I'll still be submitting. It will be this guy, Ssalandrin Whitefin. He isn't entirely done yet.
so 60
I decided to make him an aerokineticist who is rather surprised by his expanded skills above the waves. Below he can muster electricity and that's about it but above he can also manipulate the air. The elaborate visual and audible aspect of his electric attacks also caught him by surprise (as electricity is invisible under water).
Submitting Thame Smythe, Illusionist. Early good luck, everyone.
Well... guess who's feeling a sudden burst of character-creating energy?
Yeah... might be a bit late, but I'm going to throw my hat into the ring.
Kyra is a ratfolk scholar of the Azlant. She learned some magic from her mentor wizard and some slashing to defend herself on Almas streets and follow the path of greatest Golarion adventurers.

Artaxerxes was born in Absalom, the city at the center of the world raised by Aroden, the last pureblooded Azlanti. His parents were Taldan, but Artexerxes felt there were greater things to aspire to. His black hair, chiseled features and violet eyes showed his true nature, an inheritor of the Azlanti legacy. When he came of age, he changed his unsuitable Taldan name, settling on Artaxerxes, the name of an ancient Azlanti king. As he got older and began to realize his birthright he began to grow obsessed with Azlant, finding it's ancient glory alluring and mystifying. As he studied he learned about an ancient Azlanti warrior named Ixiolander, who perished like countless other Azlanti during Earthfall. Ixiolander was different from those countless others, for he was an ancient ancestor of Artaxerxes. Using obscure spiritual techniques, he was able to summon forth the restless spirit of Ixiolander. With those same techniques, he was able to craft Ixiolander a physical form made from congealed ectoplasm. Ixiolander, ready for some semblance of life, took that form and agreed to help Artaxerxes to claim his Azlanti legacy. But Ixiolander was angry at his predicament. This hollow reminder of a once glorious life in a world devoid of the mighty Azlanti empire filled him with rage. They made an unconventional but effective duo, Artaxerxes dealing with the living and Ixiolander dealing with the dead and showing Artaxerxes his ancestry. Due to his unique connection to Azlant the Bountiful Venture Company contacted him to join the colony.
Artaxerxes is a tall man with the widows peak, strong nose, and violet eyes of the Azlanti. He wears deep green and crimson robes in an attempt to emulate his Azlanti forebears. He carries a short spear and a sling at his waist, both weapons of Azlanti warriors.
Ixiolander is a middle-aged but heavily muscled Azlanti man, covered in scars and wounds. He carries a short spear of exquisite Azlanti design, and wears the tunic of a general. Despite his spear, in battle his blows are slams of ectoplasmic energy, regardless of the weapon he uses.
Artaxerxes is haughty, sure of his place as an inheritor of Azlant. He is excited to set foot on his ancestral homeland and to uncover what secrets it may hold. Despite his lofty attitude, he is a pragmatic man. If one can prove themselves equal or better than him, he is willing to call them an ally.
Ixiolander, when manifested, is a being of rage and bloodlust. Despite his yearning to reclaim his former life, he remembers little of it. Fragmented memories linger, but many were wiped away by the trauma of the Earthfall. He fights with unbridled savagery, eager to lash out at those who remind him of his life. Only in the few moments after battle does he seem calm, looking to the sky and mouthing a silent prayer to long-dead gods.
Okay, Tessa Mithrandir is rapidly approaching completion. Just your average aquatic elf that doesn't know she is one. She loves puzzles and longs for the sea, looking for new problems to solve and new relics to unearth.
As a (slightly amusing) side note, Aquatic Elves have Goblin, Orc, Gnome and Gnoll as bonus languages, but not Aquatic for some reason. They also don't have the Elf subtype, which is funny in its own way.
Alright, you can ignore me. Time just wasn't something I had enough of this evening. Good luck everyone!
Okay, mostly done. Just a bit more. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll finish tonight with the stats (the backstory and whatnot is basically done, though)
One question: DM, would you allow for a slight reflavoring to the False Focus feat? My character has a necklace that has sentimental value, but it might be cool if she could literally channel her arcane power through it because of it singificance, as opposed to using a holy symbol of a diety.
Anyway, rolling for gold
@Daedalus, yes, you could use the necklace for the feat. I would also rule that aquatic elves have the elf subtype.
Consolidated list of completed applicants, part 2!
- Gideon Ross, human bard (archaeologist)
- Valdern Deep Iron, dwarf spiritualist (drowned channeler)
- Arma Avox, human alchemist (vivisectionist)
- Abigail Garrett, human druid
- Thame Smyth, human illusionist
- Kyra Soulkeeper, ratfolk magus
- Sheskor Udanembe, deep one hybrid hunter
- Artaxerxes, human spiritualist
- Tessa Mithrandir, aquatic elf diviner
Cuan, I did see your application, but forgot to add him to the list. You are under consideration though. :)
A bit of a last-minute submission. I originally designed Elia for quite a different adventure path, but her theme and background match up very well, I just had to do a bit of de-levelling.
Okay, thanks. I'll have the remaining stats up tonight, though story wise, she's done.
Okay, it's a little shy of noon but I don't think any more submissions are going to come in. So I have made my decisions!
With a pool of 31(!) applicants, it was very difficult to narrow it down to just a few characters. Everybody had wonderful submissions, and I felt bad having to cut so many. But in the end, I've decided to run three separate tables. Here are the lucky winners:
Table 1: Ladies of Adventure!
Table 2: Pretty Women and Green Men!
Table 3: Gills and Grit!
Thanks to all who applied. I will keep your submissions in mind in case any players drop out in the future.
:D
Thanks for picking me, GM. :)
